Splinterlands: decision time!

I have been playing Splinterlands almost of the start of the game and to be honest I did invest more into the game than I did plan and maybe also wanted to. But when playing the game you do want to get higher up the ranks and earn more and more crypto!

While I haven't recovered all my investments yet, the biggest part of it has been recovered. But now the value of my complete collection is getting so big, that if I would sell it all, I probably would be able to recover all fiat money ever invested into crypto. So maybe it is time to pull the plug, sell it all, recover my fiat investment and have a pleasant and free ride on the crypto markets!

But. Yes, there is always a but! Splinterlands could become much bigger, there are very promising sings at there that it could. So I do fear missing out on bigger profits!

My complete splinterlands collection and value!

At the moment of writing this post I do have 364 cards in my collection, good for a total listing value of $10644.93. That is a lot! Way more than I ever did invest in the game. So if I would sell it, I can honestly say that Splinterlands was my best crypto investment ever!

If I do look at the value per element I do get this:

But there is more than just cards. I also own some land, unopened untamed packs, some SPT and totems. This does add another $851.4 to the basket!

So the total does reach $11469.33.
So that should like an easy decision. But still it isn't. What if Splinterlands does go mainstream and the value will keep in rising?
But that "what if" question is probably one of the most asked question in cryptosphere! Why is it always that hard to make a decision.

To top it up, the SPS airdrop, a government token within Splinterlands starts today! This is a daily airdrop based on the value of your deck, SPT, DEC and so on. Do I want to miss out on this?

So what to do?

Clueless I am. This shouldn't be the case or should it! The dollar value of the cards is not what I probably will getting for them. I did take the lowest listing prices to calculate the value. But one card alone has for instance a value of $500. I will happy if I can sell for $425 to $450.

I do think that I will start with selling my unopened untamed packs to start with. That would be good for around $500! Which is a great start in my opinion. This will be followed by the totems and the land. Finishing with the cards, element per element.

Or should I just keep it and take a huge gamble. And educated guess! But I do have no idea how big Splinterlands could become or if it could crash ...

Cheers,
Peter

I bought 285 cards back in 2018… I never played…. I checked the value of my cards on Peakmonsters and it says they are worth $1,900

The only problem is that I paid for them when Steem was around $ 4 …. So I lost a lot of money.

That is also something which we do have to take into account! But you probably also earn some SPS at the moment, which should decrease the loss.
Sold for $200 SPS in the past two days!

How do I collect my SPS ?

You have to claim it. Just like DEC, there is a box on top of the page where you SPS holding are. If you click on this, you will get the SPS page. Here you first have to claim it on the right side and than transfer or stake it on the left side.
If you are on the webpage via the mobile, try holding it in landscape and you will see it.
